The Ruling on Blood Money for the Unintentional Killing of a Fetus

Question:
He says that his wife needed to have injections administered while she was pregnant, so he administered them to her himself. Then the fetus died and was born dead and deformed. He is anxious about this action, so is he liable for anything?

Answer:
If it is established by the testimony of experts that it was aborted due to the injections, it is considered unintentional killing. The blood money and expiation are incumbent upon him, the female doctor, and the woman.
As for if it is not established, then he owes nothing. If he does not know the causes of its abortion, he is not liable.
As for if it is established that its abortion and her miscarriage were due to the injections, then the one who administered the injections is liable for the guarantee and the expiation, unless they forgive him, in which case only the expiation is incumbent upon him.
As for if he was deceived and said, "The injections do not cause harm," and he administered them, and the doctors—two doctors or more from among the experts and the trustworthy—determined that the abortion was due to the injections, it is considered unintentional killing.
